What Happened?
The attack took place on May 20 at 10:25 am when the attacker submitted a proposal claiming to use the same logic as a previous proposal approved by the community.
However, the proposal contained a hidden function that allowed the attacker to update the proposal structure after the proposal had passed. The attacker then used this function to cast false votes on themselves, exceeding the total number of legitimate votes (~700,000).
With these votes, the attacker can now perform various malicious actions, such as withdrawing all locked votes, dumping all tokens in the management contract, and locking the router. However, they still cannot empty their individual token pools, which means users’ funds are safe for now.
After the attack, many exchanges, including Binance, suspended TORN deposits and withdrawals.
